On Tuesday, the team had a chance to relive the memories of the special year a bit while opening boxes that held their state championship rings in them.

Avery Didion picked off a pass that she nearly returned to the end zone. Bre Shaw came up with a touchdown-saving flag pull that kept Fort Walton Beach off the scoreboard.
